DUNOON CHRONICLES WITH DENIS MATTHEWS

In the last issue I was rather excited by a sudden realisation that we had some val-uable photos of the village from the hill

to the north. I dared not ask that any of these be reproduced in full but had details insert-ed from two of those photos. Subsequently I have displayed copies of these photos outside the local Post Office for inspection That led me to include in The RRHS Sep-tember Bulletin a summary of the major fires that wracked Dunoon in its hey day.

The village developed on the eastern side of the town with Friedman opening his Post Office Store in 1904 exactly where the present Post Office stands. By 1910 Lowenthal had opened his arcade with four shops. These were de-stroyed by two separate fires in 1926.

It was only about 1912 that Munro ac-quired the frontages of the land across the road and began subdividing. But first he had the width of the road reserve narrowed. So each of the 24 allotments he made avail-able on the western side of the road had two deeds, one for the land that he had recently bought from the Crown and the other for the land that he had acquired from the bank.

McPherson had selected two portions but mortgaged them to the bank. One of Munro’s first buyers was WGS Rutledge who built the current general store. But he built it as a workshop. By the time the first general store burnt down in 1926 Rutledge had gone out of business and his shop was vacant. Odgers the storekeeper at the Channon acquired the building and put his son in as manager of the new general store. The young family lived in the flat at the rear of the store. It was quite fortuitous that we met a man in the library at Taree. He had been part of that young family.

When the Arcade burnt down (also in 1926) Mr and Mrs Brown had been living in that shop which they had also been running as refreshment rooms. (Annie Maguire the postmistress had been their boarder.) The Browns built a new shop beside the hall and reopened their busi-ness there. When the hall burnt down in 1963, that building was already being used as a residence by Mr and Mrs Johnston (the authors of the Dunoon Story 1971). That was their home. Their business was the general store in its current location.

Across the road from the hall we have a new home built only last year. On the corner beside it is another home recently renovated. On the other side of the new home is the old ES&A bank. There were two fires on the site of that new home. The blaze of 1912 must have been spec-tacular. The flames were clearly visible from Lismore and the fire was reported as far afield as Charters and Broken Hill.

There was no fire brigade and the resi-dence of the ES&A bank was saved only by hanging blankets on the walls and dousing them with water.

The two storey guesthouse stood on that corner block. Beside it was a billiard saloon. On the next block stood the build-ing that housed the Bank of NSW. The two banks were clearly identifiable in the earliest photo taken about 1908. The guesthouse was still under construction in 1910. The post office was in that building and there were other shops on the ground floor, one of which was the mercery store run by Rue Friedman (brother of Alfred).

If you travel further north you will see the

splendid brick home owned by the Smart Family. That was the site where Charles Morton built his home. Between that brick home and the corner of Cowley Road are two cottages that survived fires in 1915. The blacksmith cottage stands in the tri-angular black but the original forge built there about 1907 was destroyed by fire in 1915. The workshop of WGS Rutledge, adjacent to Roder’s forge, was also de-stroyed but the cottage that shared the allot-ment with Rutledge’s workshop survived.

That cottage was again in danger of fire just sixteen days later when Mor-ton’s house caught fire in the after-noon. The locals were so concerned that they they moved all of the contents of that house out to the street and “worked like Trojans” and saved the building.

Mr Ernst was the clerk at the ES&A Bank. He had married the daughter of the Town Clerk of Grafton just a few years earlier in what was obviously a spectacular social event. His best man was his bank manager. Spare a thought for young Mrs Ernst with fire threatening her home twice in sixteen days.

Meanwhile the Coffee Palace was not built where the guest house had stood but it was built where the Bank of NSW had stood. It also provided accommo-dation and it housed the post office but all that was destroyed by fire in 1925.

The Methodist church on the hill was destroyed by fire about 1902. We do not have reports on that but its replace-ment, designed by Architect FJ Board was opened with great fanfare in 1903.

DUNOON PUBLIC SCHOOL NEWS WITH ROBIN SANDERSON

It’s been a very active Term 3 for the students, staff and supportive parents of Dunoon School. Excit-

ing new learning experiences, adven-tures in the performing arts, sport-ing challenges and environmental projects have been on the agenda. Of course, the keen and curious Dunoon students are also constantly extend-ing their literacy and maths skills.

In preparation for the Athletics Car-nival and Field and Track Events, an expert sports coach from Little Ath-letics, Jennie Duffield, came to train the students in various aspects of ath-letics events. We saw some great im-

provements in the children’s personal achievements. The track and field car-nivals have taken place and it was ter-rific for all the schools in our local area to get together for these events.

Teams Day is an annual event for all of the students. Once again the small

schools came together, fielding teams in T ball, Danish Rounders and soccer. Even though the schools compete against each other, the main aim is to enjoy a fun day of sport and encourage good sportsmanship.

Years 3 – 6 attended the Milo Cricket day in Lismore. Playing 6 a side games for 40 mins, all participants had a chance to bowl and bat. Students’ cricket skills were improved and there was a further emphasis on girls’ partici-pation in the game.

We have also had specialist coaching in field hockey and in the art of Frisbee


flying as part of the Active School community program.

PLAY IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF RESEARCH Albert EinsteinYr 5/6 students were able to ‘test out’ the new Water testing Lab at the Dor-roughby Environmental Education Centre. What a motivated, enthusiastic bunch! They have been invited back for a longer session to demonstrate the new scientific equipment to a bunch of ‘dignitaries’ at the opening of the centre in October.

TOURNAMENT OF MINDS Congratulations to all the students who participated in the TOM program. The Maths Engineering team - David, Harry, Gabriella, Indigo, Kyle, Max and Ella won 1st place in our regional final and competed in the State finals in Sydney – a fantastic result. Special thanks to Heather Laverick for her wonderful work with this.

All the children from Dunoon and Whian Whian were very interested to hear a dairy farmer, a nut farmer, a garlic farmer and a vege/avocado farmer talk about their way of life and the produce they farm. Thanks to Trevor, Will K, Will C , and Mark for coming to our FARMERS’ FORUM and participating in a question/answer session.

This was organised by Emma Stone who also conducted a WASTE AUDIT with Years 4/5. The activity examined our accumulated waste over one week from general bins and two weeks from the recycle bins. The investigation was to see how successful our recy-

cling is and to look for opportunities to improve.

Another visitor was Blair, the electri-cian who talked about electricity and saving energy. The school received a small grant as a result of student par-ticipation in the CLIMATE CLEVER ENERGY SAVERS program and were able to install LED lights in one class-room as well as instituting other ways of cutting our energy use.

PERFORMING ARTSWhat a fabulous term for all our musi-cians, singers and dancers. All the stu-dents at Dunoon have the opportunity to learn to play the marimbas. What a joyous, egalitarian instrument to promote in our school. For many years a small group has been invited to play at the Opera House and this year 11 students travelled to Sydney as part of the Marimba Ensemble.

The Performing Arts Festival at the Lismore Workers Club brought the Marimba Ensemble, the Wacky instru-ment players, the singing group, led by George and the dancers together for a marvellous arrangement of La Bamba. Congratulations to the students who orchestrated a large part of the show. They delivered a happy, energetic and musical performance.

PUBLIC SPEAKING All students presented a short speech as part of the Young Communicators program. There are some very keen and articulate public speakers at Dunoon Primary.Topics were chosen from the follow-ing:• If I had one wish…• How would you define courage?• The best holiday I have ever been on• If you could be a farm animal which one would it be?• Why were the Egyptian Pyramids built?• How kids can make a difference• Are there aliens? Are we really alone?• Are kids expected to perform chores around the house?• Is privacy a privilege or a right?• Can parents be punished for their child’s mistakes?• Do we need better role models for our generation?• Is peer pressure beneficial or harmful?• Does beauty or brains get you ahead in life?• What’s the importance of the Olym-pics?• Will computers replace teachers?• Girls have it better than boys• Un-AustralianLast but not least! Our young garden-ers grew a pumpkin with a mass of 42 kilos!! Robin Sanderson

MODANVILLE SCHOOL NEWS WITH GERALDINE KERR

With the September holi-days approaching quickly, it is with great satisfaction

that we reflect on the last few months at Modanville Public School. As always, our cal-endar has been full of new experiences and opportuni-ties for our students to shine!

Term 3 is traditionally a busy time for Athletics. Our stu-dents enjoyed joining other small schools for our District Athletics carnival at Riverview Park. We then had 18 students compete at the zone carnival, with Lexi Daly being awarded junior girl champion! Lexi Daly and Jemma McInerney then participated in individual events at the regional carni-val. We also had girls participate in both the junior and senior girls relay at re-gional.

We celebrated Book week with a book character parade. This was a wonder-ful opportunity for our students to dress up for the day and share their love of books. The teachers joined in the spirit of the day and dressed up as characters from the “Where’s Wally” series by Martin Handford.

This year we entered two teams in the annual “Tournament of the Minds” program. Led by Miss Burgess and Mr Swift, the teams were made up of stu-dents from years 3 to 6. Both teams participated brilliantly on the day, with our Applied Technology team being awarded Honours. Teachers and parents were extremely proud of the

way our students handled the pressure and demands of this gifted and talented program.

We also had 45 students participate in the Lismore Performing Arts festi-val. Our item “The Beatles Revisited” was an explosion of colour and move-ment. The students sang beautifully and enjoyed learning a range of new dance moves. For many, performing on a big stage with lights and a smoke machine was a memorable experience.

Thanks to Mr Swift and Mr Blanch, our school is alive with a love of chess! As a result of this interest, four of our stage

2 students travelled to Ballina to partici-pate in The Gardiner Chess Tournament. There were 150 students in the tourna-ment and our team was second overall! Well done Padi, Jayden, Ryan and Tyler!

As we move into term 4, we are keen to welcome students and families for Kin-dergarten 2015 to our school commu-nity. Last Wednesday, Miss Burgess and our K/1 class held a “Happy Hatter’s Tea Party” for visiting pre-schoolers. This was the first event of our Kinder-garten orientation program for this year. Other dates for our Kindergarten orien-tation this year are:• Thursday 30th Oct: 9.15–11.30am• Thursday 6th Nov: 9.15–11.30am• Thursday 13th Nov: 9.15–11.30 am

Sunday, 14th September was BACK TO CHURCH SUNDAY, or as we have re-named it,

‘COME TO CHURCH SUNDAY’, and we had a wonderful day.

Back to Church Sunday began in one Anglican diocese in the United Kingdom in 2005 and since then has spread to all 44 dioceses in Britain and also across other denominations. Back to Church Sunday was launched in Australia on 13th September 2009. 600 churches across 19 Anglican dioceses took part (including St. Matthew’s, Dunoon). On that day 12,000 people returned to church at the invitation of a friend. In 2010, the number of participating churches rose to 660 and an estimated average of 15 people came back to each church, which represents an increase of 19% for the average congregation size. This year 21,510 churches took part in

the initiative, including our little Church of St Matthew’s, Dunoon. When the first visitor arrived (Kelly Evering-ham from Modanville) we declared the day an unmitigated success and from there on in it just got better and better.

I should like to thank everyone for coming. I hope you all enjoyed the whole experience – not only the scrumptious morning tea that we all enjoyed after the service.

Our next special event will, hopefully,

be Remembrance Sunday Service on 9th November when we shall gather to remember those who served as well as those who died in the major con-flicts that our soldiers have been in-volved in over the years. This is now an annual event on our calendar and is always a very beautiful and touch-ing service. I hope to see you all there.

In September, Glenda Schofield and I responded to Bishop Sarah’s invita-tion to a garden party in the grounds of her home in Grafton. The event was organised to raise money for the An-glican Board of Missions who are cur-rently involved in many humanitarian missions around the world and espe-cially in South Sudan. It was a lovely day and we enjoyed a morning tea and lunch sitting on the Bishop’s veranda looking out over the Mighty Clarence River. It was a wonderful day out.

Remember that we have Sunday services every Sunday morning (except during January) at 10.00am .‘Gina Murray (Anglican Women’ Guild of St. Matthew’s Dunoon)

BIG SCRUB RAINFOREST DAY LAUNCHNorthern rivers locals with an interest in either the environment, our region’s drinking water or rainforests and restoration should get along to the 16th annual Big Scrub Rainforest Day on Sunday 12th October.

The Big Scrub Rainforest Day will be held at Rocky Creek Dam from 7am to 3pm and features guided bird, plant use and rainfor-est restoration walks, practical workshops on everything from rainforest seed collec-tion to providing nest boxes for backyard wildlife and presentations from Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, author and biologist Tim Low, ABC journalist and presenter Robyn Williams plus many more. It will also include family activities, food and en-tertainment, displays and stalls and tours of the Nightcap Water Treatment Plant.

Big Scrub Rainforest Day 2014 was launched at Rocky Creek Dam recent-ly by Kyme Lavelle, General Manager of Rous Water and Dr Tony Parkes, President of Big Scrub Landcare.

This year will mark the 16th annual event – Big Scrub Rainforest Day has developed into an major event on the North Coast calendar, and is Australia’s largest Landcare event.

Importantly, the event is run by local bush regenerators and Landcare facilitators and is supported by local organisations that value the important work undertaken to protect and improve this iconic regional landscape.

Rous Water and Big Scrub Landcare would like to recognise and thank the major sponsors North Coast Local Land Services and Rainforest Rescue that have both demonstrated their strong commit-ment to Big Scrub protection and con-servation through this great support.

The event is also supported by a wide range of event sponsors who work closely within our local community to support environ-mental action and without this support Big Scrub Rainforest Day would not be possible – Rous Water and Big Scrub Landcare would

therefore also like to recognise the support of the following great local organisations and businesses: Far North Coast Weeds, Brook-farm, Summerland Credit Union, North Coast Wedding and Party Hire, Lismore City Council, Amadan and GeoLINK. We would also like to recognise the contribu-tions of the NSW Environmental Trust, Aus-tralian Government Caring For Our Country and Jan Barham MLC Greens NSW.

See the program on the next page or go to www.bigscrubrainforest.org.au

Rous Water: Water from the Big Scrub!All of the key existing and proposed water sources of Rous Water (Rocky Creek Dam, Emigrant Creek Dam, the Wilsons River source and Proposed Dunoon Dam) are located within the Big Scrub landscape. In this way, Rous Water represents ‘water from the Big Scrub rainforest.’

BIG SCRUB RAINFOREST DAY PROGRAM - SUNDAY 12 OCTOBER

These three baby Ringtail possums were rescued from The Byron Arts Factory. Visitors from Europe

heard a shriek and looked up to see a large python wrap itself around an adult possum, then three little furry balls dropped to the ground. The visitors gathered up the little ones and asked reception to ring WIRES. WIRES hotline (ph 6628 1898) advised

them to put the babies into a box with some towels or a blanket and keep them somewhere warm and quiet. This greatly reduces the stress of an orphaned or injured animal. The less human handling the better. Always remember, if you find a baby ring-tail possum on the ground look for others as the female ringtail possum often has three babies and always has at least two.Muriel Kinson

BEST PIES EVER

Rumour has it Modanville Takeaway makes the best pies ever − and french vanilla

slice and mud cakes and my sig-nature fresh cream caramel sponge cakes − just ask me and I will tell ya!

Hi, I am Darryl. It’s been 6 years since Modanville Takeaway was taken on by myself as chief cook and bottle washer, and I bought it from bust and turned it into the empire it is today, thanks to you guys, my customers.

The secret is out − Modanville Takea-way has great food, reasonably priced and when you finish your food you are stuffed and cannot work no more. It’s a pretty awesome feeling when a new customer comes into my shop and they are undecided and there may be a couple of customers (which makes a tight fit in the front of my shop) doing their thing, then a friend-ly argument breaks out about which

product is better or their favourite – which makes my upsell a lot easier.I am a Baker Pastry Cook by trade and make most of the products on site − I don’t make bread at the Take-away mainly because I don’t have the space and don’t like working nights − unless we can convince Ian & Ivana to sell me their shop cheaply, then we could probably make a bakery (sometimes I think I’m funny but that’s just part of the service).

So 6 years ago when it all started, I started making pies, cakes & pastries at my new Takeaway shop − all very new and not sure what to expect. The place has done my head in many a time those first 5 years; tears have been shed, lots of laughs, actually had a sleep on the tiled floor one day − funny story. Working 7 days for your convenience takes it out of you after a while and this one day I put a towel on the floor as a pillow, hands on my chest and must have passed out. Then what felt like a minute later was actually John Hilde-brand coming into my shop. I jumped up as if I had been cleaning or something, looked at the clock and half an hour had passed. I told him what I had done and he just laughed (bit like Santa Claus).

A couple of years ago when doing my head in, I had to think of how I could

get some extra money through the shop since you locals only have so much money for takeaway food. So then my pie drives evolved and each year keeps getting bigger and bigger. This year I did

a pie drive for Mudgeeraba Netball club − yes which is up at the Gold Coast − and they are re-booking for next year. The Lismore City Pipe Band has done 6 drives a year for the last couple of years. Last year I did 19,000 pies for the whole year; this year I have already baked just over 20,000 pies… that’s bloody awesome!Anyway, now I don’t stress about a quiet day because you all seem to come in all at once which is very TYPICAL or as Stuckey says” The bloody customers waited till you left and I’ve been flat out since”… Oops.

I have the BEST parents in the world and probably wouldn’t be where I am today without them − Mum works full-time as a cleaner at the hospital and she will come help me out in her down time, which can sometimes be up to 50 hours a week... that’s a lot of down time I reckon, but she wants to help her no.1 son out. Dad will also drop every-thing to come help top some pies and he is my no.1 Handyman. I think he prefers my sister − she’s not such hard work and she moved far enough away!

Some of you reading this may re-member me as my family first came to Dunoon in 1974 when

my children were 8, 6 and 3 yrs. old. That is when I further embraced sustain-ability as a way of life with the practice of no waste, using second hand clothes, installing a a solar hot water system and creating a large vegetable garden.

Then in 1994 I left Dunoon and lived for fifteen years at ‘Crystal Waters’, a permac-ulture village situated near Maleny, Q’land where I learned many new skills and gave tours around another very productive garden, returning back to Dunoon in 2009.

My brother and I, like many of our genera-tion had been brought up with “waste not, want not” and recycling was a way of life. My daughter and my granddaughters have enjoyed playing with my home made dolls house and I still have the dolls cot my father also made me from a packing box plus there’s a stack of childhood memories of my parents using many sustainable practices. Of course the understanding I had back in 70’s, and what I know now, about cre-ating a smaller foot print has changed. There is a growing and even greater need to live more gently on Earth, so when I read an article about a Sustainable House Day in the council news letter requesting people with sustainable homes to open to the public I decided to enter, along with others in the Byron / Lismore shire.I found it a great opportunity to both spread and exchange ideas plus meet new people. My passive-solar home covers the re-

quired Green Principles and was opened to the public on the 7th. September. It was go, go, go from ten until four in the afternoon with thirty eight people plus some children showing lots of in-terest and asking lots of questions.

I wonder if once a year is enough and am considering having more frequent open days if there is an interested public. The second part of Sustainable House Day was to DESIGN A SUSTAINABLE GRANNY FLAT AND WIN and that is what I did. My daughter Lorinda said “Who else but a green granny knows what is needed when downsizing to a smaller home and building green.”

My design is adaptable allowing you to build both green, small and within your budget, with extensions that can be added on later. I entered mostly because I love designing small homes and I want to see small spaces designed in a way that makes them liveable as well as passive-solar, not just an open space where every activity is seen and eve-rything has to be moved before you can eat at the table. Who wants the visitors passing through your bedroom to reach the bath-

room. Why not have a walk in robe, loads of storage space, benches to work on, a second toilet in a ‘mud room’ which allows you to come in from the garden without walking through the house and there is more. It really works even though it is just under 60m2. Once the design is achieved then the building material can be as ‘green’ as you like. I chose simple, easy to obtain, easy to erect, easy on the pocket fire retard-ant building materials. The choice is yours.

I loved the designers’ use of the new build-ing materials now available; there is such a variety to choose from and it was amazing to see the work people put into their entries. No way did I see any possibility of winning − not after I walked around the exhibit. Maybe a pat on the back? But I was one of the two non-professional winners. Fifty people entered, nine in the young peoples section, eleven in the community section and thirty professionals. The or-ganisers were delighted that there was so much interest in designing small and green but it meant we were all crammed into the hall along with the green stall holders at the GREEN BUILDING and TRADE SHOW in the A&I hall, Bangalow on the 13th Sep-tember. There were so many people through the doors that at one point they stopped people going in until others came out.

SHOWCASING LOCAL ARTIST JUDIE RICHARDSON

ARTIST STATEMENT

“If there is an elephant in the room, I always try to introduce it.”

I consider my art practice to be a form of prophetic research with the act of subject, composition and colour investigation tools for revealing the visual evidence of what is locked away as creative seed in each person, purposed for relationship and restoration.

This exhibition has evolved from several years investigative journaling purely via intuitive art-making; a journey of holis-tic discovery, confession, and healing.

The viewer’s own life becomes the narra-

tive as the artist invites you to ponder each work as a pause within which to explore and critique their own spiritual and emotional health. To shift from purely academic, frontal lobe reason, instead venturing into the place of knowing within the heart, within memory, within colour, within intimacy, within God.

Strong colours and bold images stimu-late passion and response as the founda-tions of identity are critiqued. Playful-ness with scale demotes that which has held our hearts and minds captive, to proportions now subject to our actions.

Deeply personal works, they reveal a pur-poseful vulnerability and transparency of self that is only a result of having met grace. Judie [email protected]

COMMUNITY GARDENS The Dunoon Community Garden continues to evolve and grow in dif-ferent ways. The gardens themselves are looking good largely due to the consistent efforts of Lyn, Darcy and Mel. Since the gardens began about three or more years ago, the mix of people with fresh enthusiasm has always changed but remains about the same. These guys have had great crops of cabbage, cauliflower, broc-coli, herbs, etc. etc. going over winter.

We have had several working B’s over recent months including one in winter where a concrete slab was put down in preparation for a garden shed. Thanks Nik for co-ordinating that one and thanks to all the crew that turned

up to make that job fun. Now we just need to get the shed up. More recent-ly we had a general tidy up and Nik, Ian and myself raided Mark’s chook pen, cleaning out a couple of years of manure. We did such a good job his chooks can now get under the chicken wire. Oops, sorry and thanks Mark.

With this chicken litter and the horse manure Mel has been collecting, there is no shortage of fantastic fertiliser that we need to get into the soil, probably a section of the mound behind the garden plots. A couple of us have discussed this with the idea of getting a crop of water-melons going up there. So stay tuned for the shed building / soil condition-ing and or melon planting working B.Cheers, Peter Hood

LOCAL GROUPS, EVENTS AND NEWS


LOCAL GROUPS, EVENTS AND NEWS continuedGIRL GUIDESClunes Guides took advantage of the opportunity, offered by Bunnings, to showcase Girl Guiding. We set up a

stall with lots of posters and informa-tion, some small activities for children and a mock campfire.

The previous weekend, the girls enjoyed a day improving their camp skills. Erect-ing a flagpole and raising the camp flag, pitching, caring for and striking a bell

tent, fire building, cooking damper and a “chicken in a bell”, roast potatoes, green vegies and a pudding on the open fire, fire safety, preven-tion of accidents at camp, what to do in the case of bushfire, use and care of lanterns, and singing round the campfire and cooking S’mores in the evening

were some of the activities in a very full day.”

Helen Hargreaves

Well as the season draws to an end it’s time to celebrate an amazing season at the

Dunoon United Football Club (DUFC).

While we celebrate the addition of some silverware to the clubhouse cabinet, courtesy of our under 15 girls, there have been many more achieve-ments to celebrate over the busy year.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the club with many of the past and present committee and club members was a great honour for me as current president. What a wonderful opportu-nity to thank those that have built the club (literally) that we enjoy. Speak-ing of people who have given a lot to the club, we also got to celebrate the induction of Andy Bain and Lyn Black as life members of the football club.

This year the club was also recognised by the Football Federation of Australia, the highest football body in the country as a Level 1 Nationally Accredited Club. This accreditation recognises the struc-ture and policy of the club and places the club in a far better position to receive support and sponsorship in future.

This year also saw an amazing junior carnival, and a separate girls football week held at Balzer Park. Both events brought a lot of players from around the region to enjoy our wonderful facilities.

As I mentioned earlier Dunoon enjoyed a bit of finals action this year with both

the Under 14’s mixed and U15’s girls teams making the grand final. Unfor-tunately the mixed team were beaten after a valiant effort, not just during the final, but to get there as well. The girls were able to win their final this year over their worthy competitors in Italo Stars, after a hard fought battle all year.

With more than 170 players enjoying our club this year, congratulations to all that make it tick. From our Miniroos to our senior teams, congratulations on a great year of football and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.

In 1968, 2 years after I started work at Qantas, my father retired from his job, and was at a bit of

a loose end. A friend at Qantas sug-gested I get a vintage car for him to restore. As he was a engineer and could lend his hand to ‘most any-thing, I thought this a good idea.

The car was found at Hol-lydeen near Denman in the Hunter Valley. A group of friends spent a very hot long weekend retriev-ing the “wreck” from an old garage.

The owner was a Mr A H Stilling, a retired Farmer/Grocer who had used the car to deliver groceries and later, after removing the rear section and adding a wooden truck back, as a farm vehicle. After blowing a piston about 1950 it was put in the shed and used as a chicken roost.

The original owner was a F W T Clarke, a dentist of Newcastle. I have the original Instruction Book. He must have used it to sleep in as the front seat back had been made to fold down.

As can be seen from the picture it was a greatly overloaded Land-rover for the trip back to Sydney. As well as the near complete vehicle, we had also removed the mechanical compo-nents from a second wrecked chassis which was on the roadside at the site.

The chassis had been bent in an ac-cident, and several bits already gone, but was a good source of spares, axles, gearbox, springs, etc. It was a long slow trip back to my home in Punchbowl.

Rebuilding was a long slow task which I ended up doing myself as Dad died in 1970. The engine was removed and the damaged bore sleeved, new alu-minium truck pistons fitted, new valves turned down and the head repaired and machined. Due to the higher position of the piston top ring groove a spacer was added below the block. The dural-lium con-rods had removable bronze slipper bearings made and white metaled, and the large heavy counter-weights removed, greatly reducing the mass. The previous engine had had cast iron pistons. The water-pump shaft was rebuilt using silver steel (Qantas workshop) and machined as new.

New brake linings were fitted and the clutch re-lined. The suspension was built up using the best of all the parts and is therefore mostly original and quite good. The chassis was cleaned and hand painted with rust-prevent-ing structural steel paint and black enamel. I rebuilt the vacuum fuel pump.

The wire wheels were cleaned and almond shell blasted to remove rust at Qantas by me on a Saturday and after replacing several of the worst spokes, were galvanised. The rims were treated with kill-rust fish oil. New firestone tyres from NZ were fitted. A temporary exhaust system using a forklift muffler was added. Finally the chassis assembly was driven around the block early one Sunday morning to see if the gearbox and diff were okay (new oil had been added), both proving quiet and okay. This is where rebuilding took a holiday as I had never done any sort of body work before and was unsure what to do next.

I always liked to do the jobs myself rather than simply fork out funds and let others do the work while I merely reassembled the bits. So at this stage

MY 14/40 VAUXHALL STORY WITH RON THORNHILL


the engine had been rebuilt but gearbox, diff. and steering box were untouched.

I was fortunate to obtain a selection of Tasmanian Coachwood of various sizes and a start was made on some of the easier pieces of the frame. Nearly all of the old frame was shot; only the running boards and floor boards and both front doors were still okay. The rear doors, seat, side curtains and hood assembly had been lost when the wooden tray back was added. The main runners were replaced with a heavy Asian hardwood and the wooden rear tray, fitted by Mr Stilling, removed.These pictures were taken about the time that I moved to my current home at Dunoon in 1986, taking “all” my stuff with me.

To get the car to the north coast 800+km away I hired a 4 wheel trailer and borrowed my mate’s V8 Holden Commodore and away I went, picking up a friend in Taree. It was quite a trip.

Nothing was done on the car for several years as I was completing my house and settling in to a new life style.

In 2001 whilst I was on a trip around Aussie in my camper-van, a recently retired friend thought he would like to have a go at the restoration. The car was towed to his place. Five months

later on my return, he had done some work on the car but found it was more than he had time to spare. So, back to my garage it came. I commenced by re-placing the wood in the “tub” one piece at a time, gradually getting the skills needed. Fitting the rear section on the chassis left the two missing back door spaces. I built two doors first by having the metal sheets rolled to shape and then adding the wood to suit, following the method used in the original front doors which needed no work at all.

The original running boards were kept with new edging added. The aluminium covered floor boards were also used in original condition. All the windscreen supports, with some replacement glass side carriers were nickel plated and new glass fitted. All 4 wheel knock ons were in a dreadful state having been hit with steel hammers far too many times. They were rebuilt by Errol, a friend who was a wiz at welding.I then spent many hours finish-ing them before nickel plating them. They are as good as new. The front steel body panel had some rust sec-tions at the base, so new side sections were stepped in, riveted, and brazed. The guards were blasted clean and zinc sprayed. A new centre section was rolled and fitted as they were badly rusted along the lower edge.

The next task was a paint job. I was able to handle spraying the guards, doors, bonnet, and smaller parts, but could not do the larger areas. The friend who had offered earlier was a good sprayer and did the main body sec-tions in a light blue, the original colour. The guards were of course black.

The Vauxhall was at last looking like a car again. The front seat bases were re-

paired and recovered, as was the front seat back, in vinyl. I made panels of board padded and covered them with the same and quilted using screws.Spares are from a second car include diff springs gearbox Magy Gen etc.

This as far as I have gone. The car is started every few months but I am unable to drive it due to my age and physical condition. It needs a rear seat and either a new hood and side curtains or a tonneau cover made.Ron Thornhill

SEPTEMBER: The most im-portant month through-out PNG history.

No doubt a few readers of the Dunoon Gazette saw on our local TV stations on the 14th September the historic events regarding the 100th anniver-sary of the first battle of World War 1 by Australian Naval and Army person-nel against German Interests at Biti-paka near Rabaul on September 11th, 1914. This was a significant happening in New Guinea’s history and so I’ve decided to look up all those historic events that happened during the month of September alone throughout Papua New Guinea. I was more than surprised in what I discovered so I decided to list all these significant happenings in chronological order as best I can.

1. SEPTEMBER 4th, 1888: Sir William MacGregor appointed the first Admin-istrator of British New Guinea – a posi-tion he held until his retirement in 1898.

2. SEPTEMBER 4th, 1888: Anthony Musgrave appointed Government Sec-retary and acted as resident magistrate, Central Division, and as treasurer.

3. SEPTEMBER 14th, 1906: A large earthquake measuring 8.4 on the Richter Scale strikes the Aitape area in the East Sepik Province. The epicentre was off-shore a few kilometres and shortly after the main shock the coastal plain near Sissano sank between 2 and 4 metres to form the Sissano Lagoon. This Quake was also recorded by the first German Governor (it was under German control up to 1914), and he wrote; “That part of Kaiser Wilhelmsland was visited by a severe earthquake. The coast-line from the mouth of the Warapu Lagoon as far as Zisano (Sissano today), district collapsed and was sub-merged under the sea. A few months later I sailed over this newly-formed section of sea, and was able to see huts and trees on the sea-bed below me.”

4. SEPTEMBER 20th, 1935: Another large earthquake strikes the Aitape area and its epicentre was 40km west of Aitape, but inland. The first shock

struck without warning about 11.30am. According to geologists working in the area at that time: “The river ran uphill in big waves and it was impos-sible to stand up and the noise from it was incredibly loud. At first we thought a meteor had struck but when the second shockwave struck soon after, it felt like sitting in a small boat in a rough sea. The ground went this way and that way, and up and down all at the same time with trees crash-ing down all around us.” The total loss of life in this quake was around 150.

5. SEPTEMBER 11th, 1914: The battle of Bitipaka (near Rabaul) when an Australian Naval and Military Ex-peditionary Force first saw combat at the beginning of World War 1 to capture the German radio transmitter at Bitipaka. Six Australian servicemen died during this operation and quite a few local New Guineans. These were the VERY FIRST casualties of World War 1 for Australian servicemen, and well before the battle at Gallipoli.

6. SEPTEMBER 13th, 1914: The reading of Proclomation of Oc-cupancy and raising of the British Flag over Deutsch Neu- Guinea at 3pm in Rabaul Square.

7. SEPTEMBER 14th, 1914: The loss of Australia’s first submarine, AE-1, with 35 crew on board. It apparently went missing near the Duke of York Islands off Rabaul on this fateful day and AE-1 has never been found since. There were two submarines on this

mission, AE-1 and AE-2. NOTE: The remains of AE-2 were located in waters near Gallipoli recently.

8. SEPTEMBER 17th, 1914: Terms of capitulation signed at Toma between the German Gov-ernment and the Australian Navy and Military Expeditionary Force.

9. SEPTEMBER 21st, 1914: A sur-render of the German armed forces took place at Herbertshohe and on that day the executive and adminis-trative authority in the Protectorate passed into British hands. Colonel W. Holmes appointed Administrator of German New Guinea during the Mili-tary Occupation til January 8th, 1915.

10. SEPTEMBER 24th, 1914: Madang was occupied by Expeditionary Forces.

11. SEPTEMBER 8th, 1942: The last day of the Battle for Milne Bay which commenced on August 25th, 1942.

12. SEPTEMBER 14-16, 1942: Action at Irobaiwa in New Guinea where the Japanese were pushed back along the Kokoda Track.

13. SEPTEMBER 4-6, 1943: Allied paratroops land at Nadzab in the Markham Valley.

14. SEPTEMBER 2nd and 17th, 1943: Massive Allied air attacks on Japanese held positions on Wewak.

15. SEPTEMBER 13th, 1945: Surren-der of the Japanese 18th Army, at Cape Wom near Wewak where Lt. General Hatazo Adachi surrendered his army to Major General H.C.H. Robertson, Commanding Officer of the Austral-ian Forces – thus ending all WW2 op-erations in the South Pacific region. It was a most significant event in WW2 history. Lt. General Hatazo Adachi was flown over to Rabaul soon after the sur-render and interned in a military prison camp there. He commited suicide in his cell at Rabaul two years later in 1947.

16. SEPTEMBER 14th, 1973: P.N.G. National Day. (I was in Kieta).

17. SEPTEMBER 15th, 1974: P.N.G. National Day. (I was in Wewak).

18. SEPTEMBER 15th, 1975: This was the very last day for Australia’s Administration of P.N.G. At 5pm on this day a special ceremony was held throughout PNG where the Australian flag was lowered for the very last time. I witnessed this event in Wewak which was held next to the Wewak Post Office and Telecommunications building.

19. SEPTEMBER 16th, 1975: P.N.G. Independence Day. This was a most historical day in PNG’s history as the people celebrated the birth of a new nation. It was more special in that PNG gained its Independence most peace-fully rather than through the barrel of a gun as has happened in other “new nations” in other parts of the world.

20. SEPTEMBER 17th, 1975: Visit to Wewak of a Royal Prince and three Prime Ministers. These very inportant dignitaries were His Royal Highness, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales, the new Prime Minister of PNG, Sir Michael Somare, the Prime Minister of Fiji, the Right Honourable Sir Kamisese Mara and the Prime Minister of New Zealand, The Rt. Honorable W.E. Rowling. This was indeed a very important moment in Wewak’s history as there has never been before, or after, such highly distinguished dignitaries visit-ing this small coastal town of Wewak.

H.R.H. Prince Charles officially opened a new sporting complex that after-noon (17th September) as well as vis-iting the Wewak Yacht Club. A special function was held that night at the Pacific Islands Regiment Army Base at Moem Barracks near Wewak and both Penny and I received official in-vitations to attend this special event. I met up with Prince Charles during this function and spoke to him for at least ten minutes or so and I found him a very knowledgeable person indeed.

21. SEPTEMBER 19th, 1994: Large earthquake measuring 7.8 on the Richter scale struck the Wewak region. This earthquake was centred 50 km to the north of the twin islands of Kairiru and Muschu islands which are 20 km directly off Wewak. The quake was deep under the ocean, but it was able to rip up water pipes in Wewak, and caused a tear in the earth for about 1.5 km beside the main runway at Boram airstrip near Wewak. It was also found that the whole of Boram itself was moved 500 mm towards the sea.The seismic monitoring stations, two on Kariru and one on Muschu islands, were able to record very accurately

the shift of the two islands. Kairiru Island (the largest of the two), was lifted nearly one metre higher and moved 1.5 metres eastwood while Muschu Island was lifted 500 mm higher and moved one metre – but in the opposite direction, that is, to the west! These islands would weigh billions of tons each and each goes under the ocean surface for nearly 300 metres before reaching the ocean floor.

22. SEPTEMBER 19th, 1994. A massive twin volcanic eruption destroys 93% of Rabaul when both Vulcan and Tavurvur volcanoes erupted together in the early morning causing massive damage to roads, buildings and other infrastructure. The damage was so

great at Rabaul that Kokopo, some 35 km south from Rabaul has became the main centre. Even to this day, Tavurvur volcano still keeps on erupting intermit-tently from minor to major eruptions.NOTE: I find it strange that two major events nearly a thousand kilo-metres apart happened on the exact same day, September 19th, 1994.

23. SEPTEMBER 21st, 2013. 50th Anniversary of Toyota in PNG. I was present at this important event as I was the last of four of the origi-nal Burns Philp’s staff who estab-lished the new Toyota agency in Port Moresby back in March 1963.While researching many books etc for this information I found numerous special events that happened throughout PNG’s history but in many cases only the year alone was shown – no actual exact date by day and month were shown.

ALL GROWN UP

I first started writing about my riv-eting family life for a weekly newspaper column in the Orange

Central Western Daily almost two decades ago. Sarah was four and Ben two and Ethan of course just a future dream of a larger family.

Now that blue eyed little girl who would boss around everyone she came into contact with is 22 and about to gradu-ate as a teacher. Aged six she would set up a classroom in the bedroom she shared with her brother and give him lessons on the alphabet. He had to make sure he was neat and tidy before he “started school” or I would find him crying furiously in the bathroom as she scrubbed his grubby peanut butter covered face with a soapy washer.

She glowed at age 8 when Paul and I brought Ethan home from hospital, here was another sibling for her to terrorise and look after, only this one was tiny and couldn’t run away. Ben was fasci-nated by his younger brother but much more interested in taking apart his toys and figuring out (not always successful-ly) how to put them back together again.

Like every other female parent you can’t wait to hear your child say “Mum” and then you get sick of it really quick. “Muuuuuuuuuuuum!” “Mum, mum, mum, mum, mum, MUM!!!!!!” Ethan was always “Mum can I have some Milo?” (still is), Ben was “Mum, where did you hide the screwdriver?” and Sarah was “Mum, the boys won’t do as they’re told!”. I always had to remind

her that she wasn’t the parent, as I heard her chastising them for whatever their latest transgression was. Not just “Stop annoying me Ben/Ethan” but “Ben, do you really have to wear your pants that low?” “Ethan, it’s not healthy to be stuck on the computer, you need to read”.

I couldn’t really blame her of course, it comes with the territory of being the eldest I imagine. Since I am third out of five siblings I didn’t have that level of responsibility myself but I see the same behaviour in my eldest sister. Even now I can feel the sting of my hand as Anne slapped it away from the lollies on the table at Christmas – “don’t you think you have had enough?” she would nag with a scary frown. Interestingly my youngest sister got away with murder, all she had to do was widen her enor-mous brown eyes and I was the one sent sulking off to my room. Sometimes of course I deserved it, sometimes it was a well planned set up so she could finish my dessert. “Muuuumm, Carolyn keeps kicking me under the table!”

She was sturdier and tougher than me so I never intentionally poked her – seriously, it would have been like poking a grizzly. One minute you might be laughing the next you are flat on your back, pinned down with a wild eyed creature pressing down on your jugular. I’m no lover of Chinese Burns and hair-pulling so if my Nancy Drew intuition told me Terese was bored and on the prowl I would head up the nearest tree and hide till I fin-ished my book or my bum got numb.

My boys learnt it was easier to give in to Sarah than run away, I don’t know how many girly movies Ben was forced to sit through but I am pretty sure he could recite all the words from the Swan Prin-cess and Sailor Moon. Thankfully she let him watch the Land Before Time di-nosaur cartoons with her, but probably because he resembled Little Foot in tem-perament while she had a bossy tricero-top aptly called Sarah as her role model.

Even I don’t escape from Sarah’s or-ganisation and fussing, now that she has been living out of home for over a year I get complacent and relaxed about my plans, I know what I want to do and when and if my book gets fin-ished I might actually follow through on those plans. But then the phone rings and she is sorting me out “what time

MY LIFE AND OTHER MISADVENTURES WITH CAZ GREENE


MY LIFE - ALL GROWN UP continuedare you home? Did you get such and such? What are you getting Dad/Ben/Ethan?, we’re coming over to visit and WE ALL WILL BE PLAYING BOARD GAMES TOGETHER OKAY?”.

The Lismore Cup was just on of course and we girls love to get our glam on, and dressing up is definitely one of the few life skills I passed on to my only daughter. But of course as soon as my gorgeous girl spots me she descends, spinning me around and checking me over. First my neckline gets adjusted as my cleavage always embarrasses her (never mind that often WAY more of her flesh is on show than the average Kings Cross local) then my hair and fascinator gets an adjustment before she embraces me and tells me “you look awesome”. Her man Lucas stands grin-ning all the while, just happy that her at-tention is fixed elsewhere and someone else is getting hassled for a change.

Every year more and more of the “litt-lies” of our community totter up to the races in their high heels and headpieces, dragging previously grotty little boys along with them – now virtually un-recognisable in a suit and tie and care-fully styled hair. Even in the stilettos I wear to give the pathetic illusion I have long legs these stunning boys and girls tower above me as they throw their arms around this old lady – they are so proud to show off how much they have changed and thankfully I get to see them this way instead of in their faded glory after the races at the nightclubs in town.

I adore them all, these new adults with their whole lives ahead of them, I adored them as children as well, loving kids with big hearts and lots of time for friends and family. We grow them well in this neck of the woods, lots of love and fresh air and a great commu-nity to grow up in. I often feel as if I have fifty kids, without the responsibil-ity, and nothing makes me happier than seeing their faces light up when they see me at the shop/soccer fields or out and about in general and they are never shy about saying hi and having a chat even in front of their friends who didn’t live out here in the villages and hills.

Ben and his mates (all local boys, most of whom live on the Gold Coast now) recently went on a 7 day road trip to Melbourne to visit another friend, five big guys of varying widths and heights packed into a Subaru sedan. Three days down, two days there and two days back. Ben’s 20th birthday was while they were driving south so they dropped in to see me at work on their way so I could give him his present. His sister gave him a slab of Coke and multi-pack of chips and I had made up a party box. Inside were Superman masks, parachute men party favours, an enormous box of sour lollies, sparklers, candles and matches. (Once upon a time I NEVER would have given him matches).

The sparklers got used somewhere near Goulburn – and unlike last time he used them he didn’t tie them all together to create a giant one. The parachute men got set free in different locations including the roof top garden of my sister’s pent-house unit in Pyrmont, Sydney, over-looking Anzac Bridge. The chips and coke were all gone by Albury-Wodonga but the lollies made it to Melbourne and the starving students there. They played Frisbee in a Melbourne park and cel-ebrated Ben and Loughlin’s birthdays together. They were freezing of course, temperatures being a little different as you travel south from QLD. Funny photos of them on their trip were posted on Facebook along the way looking un-cannily like a hipster indie band on tour.

When I waved them off my heart went with them, hoping they would all come back safely and still as friends, they were all waving back yelling “bye Mum!” and I briefly wished I could go but it’s our kids turn now to spread their wings and discover new places and people.

I enjoyed a lot of mischief making road trips myself at the same age, since my family were in the central west and I frequently travelled with mates to and from Sydney and country towns for parties, holidays, picnic races and B & S (Bachelor and Spinster) balls. Mem-ories of cramped bodies and laugh-ter and sharing of scarce funds to get a feed on the way, but I only have a few blurry photos of us in sunglasses and a handful of coasters from various country and city pubs to remember our trips by, whereas these boys had among them a master photographer and the medium of Facebook to share their adventures. It definitely made it easier to relax seeing how they were going on their travels, and a relief to have them drop in again on their way home.

Being 14 Ethan has a few years left yet before he has too many adventures of his own but I know he will enjoy making his own way, as long as there is a con-stant supply of Milo to sustain him. For the moment he will have to be satisfied with all his soccer trophies and compu-ter game rankings and he and many of his friends are already outgrowing us height wise. There is nothing he enjoys more than comparing his height to Ben’s at the same age on the grubby mark-ings on our kitchen door. Ben may be older, and in his brother’s eyes cooler, but he is not going to be the taller.Caz Greene
